[E-devel] More fam - On L-M 8.0, anybody get it to work with efsd or efm?

[Jonathan M. <mor...@pi...>]

Greetings,

I have had the damnest time getting fam and efsd or efm to cooperate on 
Linux-Mandrake 8.0. If ayone has tips, I sould be most grateful. I've 
tried a couple diffferent versions of fam with efsd and a couple 
different versions of efm and it all comes out as pasted below, even if 
I set the options in fam.conf as wide open as possible.

fam debug output - pretty much the same with efsd or efm
[root@localhost bluto]# fam -d -T 0
fam[18122]: log level is LOG_DEBUG
fam[18122]: read /usr/local/etc/fam.conf line 13:

"nobody"

fam[18122]: read /usr/local/etc/fam.conf line 35: "xtab_verification" =

efsd
[bluto@localhost efsd]$ ./efsd
Can not connect to fam -- exiting.

efm
[bluto@localhost bluto]$ efm
ERROR! cannot connect to FAM! BAD BAD BAD

It is as if they make the initial handshake and then turn their backs on 
other. Things worked fine on the L-M 7 series and also when using 2.4pre 
kernals. Any ideas?
